No Longer Strangers

Debt. 10:17,18 “ For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty and a fearsome, who regardeth not persons nor taketh reward. He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger in giving him food and raiment.”


We often take caution when a stranger is seen. We don’t know anything about this person, we don’t don’t know anything about their character. They have not proven themselves to us, so we approach them with caution. Caution is good, but rudeness is uncalled for by anyone who names the Name of Christ. We our representatives of God’s house and are to treat all people kindly without regard to their station in life. It matters not who they are or what they have to offer, the love of God constrains us to reach out and give to others who are in need or in want. Let us put aside our prejudice and judgement and execute compassion to those who are strangers among us. May they seen the love of God and turn their hearts toward Him. No longer strangers, but friends among us.
